Not saying you’re wrong, but as a counterpoint: I’ve been on many many EasyJet flights, and I think about ten or so Ryanair flights.

I’ve actually never had a problem with Ryanair at all – you don’t get as nice a service as easyJet, but fares usually are considerably lower. Essentially you get what you pay for – if you want rock bottom priced air-fares, you have to expect poorer service.

(Admittedly, I’ve not got caught up in any of the recent problems)
